This is amazing, and also... Do we think the creative activities people would clock Morse code? Asking for a friend.
I just finished up a Morse code “fuck ICE” hat so now I’m thinking about what to knit next (but planning to work on the Secret Project tonight)

The first Wednesday posts must be so confusing to people who just started following Twin Cities accounts when ICE started the occupation. “Is this, like, some Swedish thing? Are Minnesotans…okay?”

okay but democratic voters want to abolish ICE and prosecute everyone who works for it, so
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

NON-MINNESOTA FOLKS a draw-down here isn't victory, it means they're moving on to places they hope are easier targets. DO NOT GIVE THAT TO THEM. Get ready to carry on our work. Make us proud.
Tom Homan: “Stop breaking the law and impeding and interfering with us and the draw down will be quicker.”
MY GUY [derogatory] we are not the ones breaking the law here. Maybe spend less time disappearing citizens and maybe you can get the fuck out a lil faster.

This is EXACTLY the sort of shit city councils should be doing in these situations. Find a pressure point - get creative! - and squeeze the fuckers.
A Minneapolis City Council committee delayed action Tuesday on renewing liquor licenses for two Minneapolis hotels that have housed federal immigration officers.

I just finished book one and have already started book two. Get on this.
In 2020 @totallydonna.kitrocha.com & I started a trilogy about 3 book nerds (w/ superpowers) who just want to build a library for their community but shitty tech bros suck so they have to keep doing crimes.

Virgo: Today will be filled with a gentle ennui, a nostalgic malaise that makes you think of happier times with a wistful sigh. That'll pass in about two minutes when everything around you turns to flaming shit.

Job seekers are sending out hundreds of applications. Here’s why they’re not hearing back.The unemployment rate has been climbing over the past few years, but historically, it isn’t that high… Even so, some people have been talking about having a really, really rough time finding work. Brittany is joined by Wailin Wong, co-host of NPR’s Indicator podcast, and Nitish Pahwa, staff writer for business and tech at Slate, to get into why the decent macroeconomic numbers aren’t adding up for job seekers and why the market might be stuck in an “AI doom loop.”Support Public Media.

I had been on track to finish stitching on all the lettering last night, but my dad called wanting help carrying something, so I did that, had dinner with him, and did the shoveling instead. So now my goal is to finish stitching today, regardless of what my muscles have to say about it
